The Lord provides this revelation at a particular point in Joseph Smith’s life when he needed it the most. Also, how the power and authority of the Priesthood is accessible and available to everyone. Plus, a virtual tour of the Priesthood Restoration Site!

During the first Solemn Assembly of this dispensation, Joseph Smith promised those in attendance “that the pure in heart should see a heavenly vision”. Many saw the Savior. Some saw the Father. Some recorded their experience for us to hear.

These four revelations come at a very trying time for Joseph Smith personally. He recently had to fend off the verbal attacks from Ezra Booth. Soon after, he was tarred and feathered. A few days later, he and Emma would bury another child right before Joseph left on a mission to Missouri. The words of comfort, and promises given from the Lord must have been particularly meaningful to Joseph at this time of his life.
